Interpretive Summary: Leafhoppers and treehoppers cause millions of damage annually to U.S. crops, and include invasive species. Faunal catalogues of Central America, where some of the invasive pests originate, include Costa Rica and Panama, but not Nicaragua. This work includes 185 species, 38 of them newly recorded from Nicaragua. It is especially useful because it is richly illustrated, with photographs of every species, including undescribed species. This will be an invaluable source for taxonomists wishing to describe those unnamed species and as an identification guide for federal and state quarantine agencies wishing to identify potential invasive species.
